Pt. 8: he likes his smart girls

As a whole album this is probably the most I’ve enjoyed a Weezer album since Maladroit. It avoids the really bad sounding stuff, even the worse sounding stuff is really catchy, so especially after Raditude and most of Red and Make Believe it was a welcome surprise.

Fav song: Hang On

Least fav: Where’s My Sex

Part 7: the late 00s nightmare

Oh no.

Fav song: (If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To

Least fav: Can’t Stop Partying

Part 6: he has a cool hat on this one

Again kind of what one expects of a Weezer album at this point. For the most point, that is. I expected it to be quite the terrible album based on what the opener sounded like, only to be immediately slung into one of my favorite post-Pinkerton songs from the band thus far. Most of the rest of the album is okay, even if Thought I Knew and Cold Dark World just seems sort of out of place. The final track on the album is also really good.

One of my hottest takes probably but this really isn’t bad at all. It starts off kinda meh sure, and A Sky Full Of Stars feels very awkward and forced into the tracklist, but other than that it has pretty great production, I don’t care that it doesn’t sound like a ”traditional” Coldplay album. For some reason it just works for me, also I’d consider O and Midnight to be top 20 Coldplay songs, fite me

Fav song: O

Other songs i liked a lot: Midnight, ... read more

What to say about this? Well, sounds like what one would expect from a collab between these two, concept is pretty interesting, instrumentally it’s very cozy and autumn-y and was released at a pretty much perfect time. I enjoyed the album for the most part.

Fav song: Cimmerian Shade

Other songs I liked a lot: Reach Out, The Pillar of Souls, Beginner’s Mind, Murder and Crime, (This Is) The Thing, Lost In The World, Fictional California, Lacrimae

Least fav: Lady MacBeth in Chains

Part 5: the infamous Pitchfork .4

I’ve heard a bunch of stuff about this album and how it’s supposedly the worst thing they’ve put out but uh, it’s just mid, sure it has a few tracks that stick out as being particularly bad like We Are All On Drugs or Freak Me Out but most of it is just kinda bland, lyrical wise it’s definitely a let down but on a few of the tracks the instrumentals are catchy enough to make up for it

Fav song: Perfect Situation

Least fav: We ... read more

This is an odd album to me in that it’s consistently good all the way throughout but doesn’t really have many standout moments. Just a vibe album in general. Would recommend.

Fav song: MANIFESTO

Least fav: WUSYANAME

Well… this was astonishing. I’m happy this has gotten the response it has, giving it’s one of the greatest albums I’ve heard this decade. Whilst not a 10 in my eyes, the album lacks any bad tracks and was a great thing to sit through. Lyrics wise, rapping wise and production wise this is glorious all throughout and filled with a wide range of emotions

Fav song: I’m having a hard time deciding but either Woman, Two Worlds Apart, Point and Kill or Miss ... read more

Donda Donda Donda Donda Donda Donda Donda

Okay, now that this has actually been out for a while (which still feels kind of surreal given how long it felt like it was never dropping), what is there to say about Donda?

Well, in the end I was quite pleased with it. It's far from a masterpiece though, and I'd most likely be disappointed if I was given this immediately after seeing that dude's reddit post about the Vegas party where he practically described it as the best thing Ye has done since ... read more

It’s a fun EP and really good for the first four songs but holy fuck does the final track fucking ruin it lmao

Fav song: Never Enough

Other songs I loved: In My Arms, Another Level

Least fav: Seduction

Part 4: that one album with... uh... something

All in all a mixed bag but imo a far better album than Green. Still got a lot of skips though, especially early on in the album. I was however impressed with some tracks which I think hold up to the first two albums.

Fav song: December

Other songs I liked a lot: Death and Destruction, Burndt Jamb

Least fav: Dope Nose

It’s mostly very different from the usual Fleet Foxes sound but it was still okay, especially for a debut release, will probably come back to these in the future

Fav song: Icicle Tusk

Least fav song: In The Hot Hot Rays

This is the worst thing they've ever released.

I'm sorry.

could have been good but what the actual fuck is those sound effects over the whole track, makes it borderline unlistenable

I feel like this can make literally any music sound good in comparison

Part 3 of 15: hip hip

yeah idk what I expected, one notable downgrade from the previous two is that well, at least half of these songs are inseparable in that they’re pretty much the same song

Fav: Island In The Sun

Least fav: Hash Pipe

recommended by EraX

This might only be about 27 minutes, but felt longer - not because it is bad, but they manage to fit so much stuff into the very short timeframe and well, sometimes it sounds really good, other times it’s borderline unlistenable, but overall it was still an okay album, and I especially think it picks up towards the end with the more ’heavy’ tracks

Fav song: S’il vous plait

Other songs I liked a lot: Don’t light my fire, Anata Watashi Daita ... read more

weezer part 2, was recommended to check the rest of them out

I like this one for the same reasons as the blue album, if anything I’d say the good tracks on this one are better than those on the blue album, I really liked the lyrics and narrative on some of them. However, there were also more tracks on this one I didn’t really like than there were on the blue album, hence the lower score.

Fav song: Across The Sea

Other songs I liked a lot: Tired Of Sex, No Other One, El Scorcho, ... read more

The first couple singles from this album far from impressed me, and so, going into this album I didn’t expect much, but, I’d say I’m impressed. It starts off really well with Paprika which instantly caught my attention and is probably one of my fav songs this year so far, has some short but nice songs towards the middle, and finishes off very strong, overall a good album even though some songs appealed less to me

Fav song: Paprika

Other songs I liked a lot: Kokomo IN, Savage ... read more

It was an enjoyable listen overall and the ”old tv performance” type narrative was quite interesting to me, and fit in well with the music. However, on the contrary nothing on the album really stood out to me that much.

Fav song: Drops in the Lake

Other songs I liked a lot: I Lied, Twenty Long Years

Least fav: Meet Me In The City
